Chapter Two
Ever since Katelynn started school two months ago shes been walking to school just to take in all her surroundings, just noticing how much beautiful this place is and which places she could go to during lunch break or after school maybe even before school.
Brooklyn High is not too far from her apartment which is great because she prefer walking to school instead of taking transport like, the underground trains with probably rats running around, taxi cabs with an intoxicated driver or a crazy one and her fathers rusty old car that would definitely embarrass her more than being the poor new girl in school just waiting for the other shoe to drop while all the students analysis your every move. Brooklyn Technical High is not your ordinary school you would prefer to attend, most famous or rich people send their kids off to this school to graduate and this is something Katelynn has to adapt to because she certainly do not have a credit card flowing with money or famous parents that gets all privileges to free passes in all the best there is. She is just an ordinary girl who shops at Target and look for discounts on clothes that might look expensive, a girl that does not own a Prada or Gucci bag.
Brooklyn Technical High is the biggest school in the city and has access to everything a student needs, it is clean and organized in so many sections, corridors are filled with poster on the walls and students roaming around waiting for the warning bell to make another belling sound. Katelynn could see herself sitting on the greenest part of the field of the school, reading a book underneath that tree with pink ribbons around it, representing support for people with cancer. She could even see herself joining a book club or the debating team, maybe become the captain of those teams too because shed probably be way too clever for these kids, not that shes bragging or anything. Well she is bragging just a little, being clever is something you should be proud of, something you should express.
All eyes turn to the direction where Katelynn stand at her locker and she notices students whispering to each other, probably still wondering who she is and why she has enrolled so late into school, how she could possibly afford going here, why she was accepted to walk amongst the famous and rich but infamous, most of all why shes dressed in such a manner that screams I dont care what I wear. Katelynn has already decorated her spacious locker when she enrolled here, trying to ease the tension and make it seem as if she belonged. She thinks that she went a bit over board into decorating her locker though because there are just so many pictures she placed on the inside of the door. By now its already been filled with most of her text books as you know shes ahead of her class so the principal says. This basically makes her qualified for a nerd, something that no one likes to be called, something that is easily seen by the popular. Being a nerd could be seen as a bad thing for others, they see nerds as weak and ugly people and they tend to bully them often.
As Katelynn try opening her overly decorated locker numerous times, someone accidently bumps their shoulder against her causing her to fall against her locker and so the bulling begins. Hearing a few people from a distance laugh which makes her believe that it might have not been an accident after all. People could possibly target Katelynn as the weak insecure nerd on the schools premises. The person who apparently accidently bumped their shoulder against her does not even have the decency to apologize. Saying sorry wont hurt a fly. She thought that students on school are supposed to be more respectful and kind than homeschooled learners, her assumption was wrong.
Hey watch where you going! Katelynn scream towards the person who bumped into her as the person stops walking to look at her, making sure that she understood how upset Katelynn is about what just happened and that she will not accept it.
Katelynn turn around to face the person trying to not seem nervous or afraid and the moment when she got a good look of her, all the feelings she has been feeling disappears. There she was Katelynns very own best friend Tye. Her beauty took her by surprise. Yeah now she sounds like a lesbian, so what? Most girls wont be surprised at how beautiful the other looks. Tye standing before her has a talk slender figure like a model on one of the Vogue magazines she leaves laying around on her bedrooms carpeted floor, sleek light brown hair that flows down below her waist that could possibly be used in one of those hair advertisements on television or hairdressing store, bright grass green eyes that reminds you of a summer walk in the park and dont even get Katelynn started on the way she dresses, she could advertise her clothing online in the Fashion Nova store column. Shes the definition of a beautiful breathtaking nerd. Katelynn did not know that there could be beautiful nerdy girls on this planet until Tye came along. How does Tye even make her reading spectacles look so stylish? It could be easily used as shades. This question could never be answered.
Do you need help with your locker? Tye offers to help Katelynn open her locker as she sees her struggling to do so which makes Tye seem even more perfect. A beautiful nerdy girl with a kind heart. Not only does Tye have the looks, she has a great personality too. Katelynn could easily see herself learning to trust Tye more but she wouldnt dare mention that to her. She might think its weird.
if its not a problem, sure. Spoken gently enough for Tye to hint that she wants to know more about her and that this could be a new start into trusting her. A friendship worth all the trouble and drama in school.
As Tye opens my locker It allows me time to read a few of the posters on the wall and I noticed that there are only a few opening slots in taking up extra mural activities so Id better hurry up on it. I was thinking of having to write for the schools newspaper articles, maybe getting my own column in it too would be cool. Its surprisingly good to feel like you have known someone for so long but only met them a few months ago. Tye does not seem bad, shes enthusiastic and energetic about things she does and hears which is joyous for me. I need a little laughter in my life because my Dad certainly is not good at making jokes and my brother thinks that talking about how a player he turned out to be is something to joke about.
What if shes not who she seems to be? Most people tend to act kind to get information about you that they could use to destroy any chance of a wonderful time at graduating on school. What if shes just pretending? When in reality she might actually be one of the mean girls in the school. Urgh there Katelynn goes again, judging people without getting to know them first. Katelynn watch to many chick flicks, which causes her brain to work overtime. Tye could be the beginning of a great friendship or she could be like every other fake friend Katelynn had who loved speaking bad about her behind her back and prank her into doing the ugliest dares ever done
Chick flicks are based on fake assumptions because in reality the girl doesnt always get the happy ending or the girl do get the happy ending but not the guy. All she knows is that everyone attending school are not that excited about it as she is, they want school to be over and they want their last night at Prom. Yes! Prom where every girl wears a fancy dress even the lesbians too and the boys wears suits that matches the colour of their partners dress, most of all Prom is the day where a bunch of horny teenagers come out to play. Prom is apparently such a big deal for teenagers these days which makes no sense whats so ever. As for as this story goes, Katelynn is definitely not looking forward to Prom at this moment maybe shed change her mind when she finds prince charming. Thats if hell ever randomly show up at her doorstep which is very doubtful
Katelynns luck in relationships are so bad that it might be Karma out to get her for all those dark things she has down in the past. Well damn the past is something we do not want to get into today now do we. Today is about new beginnings and a fresh start with new people.
I got your locker open. Tye says as she hooks her arm in mine and slowly leads the way down the crowded corridor.
The remainder of the day Tye and I got to learn so much more about one another and actually came to learn that we have so many things in common that we could be sisters. Ah if only that was true. I dont have any sisters but I definitely do want one because having a brother is so much hard work especially when you have to deal with their new girlfriends or hookups every day.
Tye has this thing she does with her hands when she talks and it is so funny in so many ways, just watching her talk while her hands move around in the air makes me laugh at the thought of even thinking about it. Just picture her as a monkey hanging from a tree. She says she has a lot of experience and does some crazy things that I wouldnt even peg her for, for example last week Tye told me about how she went skinny dipping at a restricted place and when a police officer found her he could not even pronounce a word properly because he was too busy staring at her body. The officer let her off easily and offered his contact details to her. When she told me this short funny story I could not believe it and just laughed, at the same time I felt grossed out because what kind of officer just hands out his contact details to a naked teenager girl, probably the lustful kind. The kind that has relationships with under aged kids
It's hilarious now that I think of it because Tye would have use that as an advantage but she did not. Maybe we could find this officer some day and bribe him, wont that be so much fun. We could get away with so many things like a fake ID or buying alcohol.
